A bright, radiant smile can make a lasting impression and boost your confidence. Over time, however, teeth can become stained and discolored due to food, drinks, aging, and lifestyle habits. Fortunately, professional teeth whitening can restore your smile’s brilliance quickly and effectively. At Addisville Dental, we offer advanced teeth whitening treatments to help you achieve a stunning, whiter smile in a safe and controlled environment.
Why Do Teeth Become Discolored?
Tooth discoloration can occur for various reasons, including:
- Dietary Choices: Coffee, tea, red wine, and dark-colored berries contain staining compounds.
- Tobacco Use: Smoking or chewing tobacco can lead to yellow or brown stains.
- Aging: Over time, enamel wears down, exposing the yellowish dentin underneath.
- Medications: Some antibiotics and medications can cause intrinsic stains.
- Poor Oral Hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing can lead to plaque buildup, which can cause discoloration.
Teeth Whitening Options at Addisville Dental
At Addisville Dental, we provide professional-grade whitening treatments that are safe, effective, and long-lasting. We offer the following whitening options:

- Application of a powerful yet safe whitening gel that breaks down stains.
- Use of a specialized light to enhance the whitening process.
- Completion in about 60 minutes, with dramatic results after one session.

If you have sensitive teeth, we offer gentle whitening treatments designed to minimize discomfort while still providing noticeable results.
